Police getting tougher on speed tolerance

[TheDemonLord]

Thing is, the police don't make the rules. The speed limit is the rule, and hasn't changed.

They have bugger all say in what rules get made.

Absolutely true....





















If we had a proper separation between the Executive and the Legislature like we are supposed to.

Do they have any say as to whether they bother to investigate burglaries?

If you get burgled ... your security measures are obviously not up to the required standard. Thus it's your fault.

Police are very busy. Today five Police officers had to attend a serious complaint of overcharging at a local Cafe.

Police DO have priority tasking requirements in place, and approved procedures must be followed.

People being offended take priority over those being robbed. (and burglars are often armed)

They didn't write or enact the Crimes Act. But they had to change policy when Crusher Collins was the Minister, and jumped up and down about 41's not being attended.

They don't draft or enact the rules, but they do have to decide how they deal with them.

Arguing about how the Police work with people who have never been in the Police is 100% pointless. They quite naturally have no idea. Just like I have no idea about working as a builder/mechanic/soldier/etc etc

True ... the speed limit RULE('s) haven't changed ... and neither have the "Rules" on tolerance's ...

Oh wait ... it is the Officers choice on tolerances given. All a motorist (usually) needs to do to be given tolerance's is to pass the attitude test.

Sounds fair ... after all ... rules aren't really LAW.


Oh wait ... They are ...

They have bugger all say in what rules get made.

BUT ... lots of "SAY" on WHEN and HOW they are enforced ...

Got a camera ticket for 53Km/hr in Ward Street, Upper Hutt.

Pulling dosh out of your wages without supplying a copy of the infringement office either paper or in pdf format just doesnot seem right at all..

No problem with that in our neighborhood. When I've reported a burglary, suspicious activity. or anything relatively shady in our street, by either dialing 105 or 111, a pair of popo have arrived within no less than 10 minutes.

It also pays to have the email address and DDI of the the local area field officer to help them out as well. One day Connie and I got a phone to assist in the arrest of a prominent drug/car conversion ring leader. I was fun watching the arrest take place and the arrestee moaning to the popo that he needed to go to work.

Exacery. KBers have always posted about something they know absolutely nothing about.

Back when burglar alarms in cars were a fad. While I was in town one day an obnoxiously loud car was accelerated hard up the main street. As he passed each parked car the alarm was activated. A real fuckwit, but seriously impressive.

I hate to tell you this but car burglar alarms are still a thing,

Since January this year riding over Wanavagas way, the Wirerapper, Wellywood, and southern/central Hawkes Bay the MAJORITY of road users are toodling along at 95-100kph. I ride my bikes on main arteries mostly in the 105-120kph depending on weather, traffic volume and road condition, I quite easily pass all that traffic at higher speeds up to around 135kph no problems at all using what we use to call a bit of common sense. Maybe that is why I've only had one ticket in over 40 years of riding a motorcycle.

But you'd feel qualified to comment if your builder didn't actually do what you hired him for?

Not that I'm arguing, the fact that police don't attend burglaries other than those near Bonez place is more or less a given.

And it's perfectly understandable, you can't actually deal with the crime thing if you're all parked at the end of passing lanes preventing instant death.

Were they () overcharged for donuts?

Never said they did that - the finance office advise me the ticket has been received and show it to me, I tell them to take it out my pay and sign a form consenting to that. I suppose if the ticket was disputed then there would be some other process to follow but I haven't gone down that path.
